The Classics Club has just announced spin #18, where club members post a list of 20 classics and the spin chooses a number. You then pledge to read and post a review of that book by August 31.
So, with no further ado, here is my list:
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Anne Brontë
- The Expedition of Humphry Clinker by Tobias Smollett
- My Mortal Enemy by Willa Cather
- Madame de Treymes by Edith Wharton
- Miss Buncle’s Book by D. E. Stevenson
- Edward II by Christopher Marlowe
- Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
- Kenilworth by Sir Walter Scott
- The Heir of Redclyff by Charlotte M. Yonge
- The Old Man’s Birthday by Richmal Crompton
- Greenery Street by Denis MacKail
- Mary Lavelle by Kate O’Brien
- Challenge by Vita Sackville-West
- I Go by Land, I Go by Sea by P. L. Travers
- The Viscounte de Bragelonne by Alexandre Dumas
- The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins
- Aurora Floyd by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
- The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster
- This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford
What? Me Read? 
I loved Miss Buncle’s Book! It’s delightful. I also loved Aurora Floyd and The Good Soldier. I’ve read several by Wilkie Collins but not that one, so I’m curious about it. And Greenery Street is another wonderful Persephone. Good luck with the spin!
I have read all those except Aurora Floyd. I hope you get a good one!
I plan to post my spin on Sunday or Monday, depending on how I feel after the #reversereadathon.
I’m a HUGE Austen fan, so I will always wish you an Austen spin.
Loved your introductory post on the cc blog by the way. You’ve set a nice tone for the rest of us to follow. Hope your visit with your brother went well too.
Oh, thanks so much. We’re having a good time.
Lots of good stuff on your list! I hope you get Humphry Clinker because it’s on my own CC list, and I don’t think I’ve seen any reviews of it around the blogosphere before. Whatever you get, I hope you enjoy it!
Yes, it might be interesting. I haven’t read too many novels from that early before.
That’s a great list. I’ve read about half of those books and particularly enjoyed The Vicomte de Bragelonne, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Aurora Floyd. Good luck!
I think I took the Vicomte from a review that you wrote.
We’ve both got The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (different spot). Good choices here.
Yes, I noticed that! I think I read it years and years ago but am looking forward to reading it again.
Fun list! I love The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Miss Buncle’s Book, and Mansfield Park is also on my spin list (as a re-read). I’m looking forward to reading This Side of Paradise and Greenery Street too. Good luck and happy reading!
You too!
Ha! I have Tenant of Wildfell Hall on mine too. That’s probably the one I’m most interested in reading. I do enjoy anything Austen though… Which one are you most hoping for?
Hmm, I’m not sure.
I really enjoyed 1 and 7. Good luck with your Spin!
Thanks!
